To be considered eligible for competition, students in third through fifth grade were required to submit a recipe highlighting their Asian Fusion-themed recipe. Twenty entries were submitted.

Names of the students were hidden from the judges and final choices were made strictly based on recipes. The recipes were judged based on the following categories: creativity, healthy attributes, ease of preparation methods and relation to this year’s theme.
